Chapter 120: The Origin of Survival Season 2
When Jia Ling heard Yang Mi's words, she also felt that things really couldn't continue like this.
They would rather stay home and rest than participate in a TV show, isn't it all for the sake of making money and gaining more fame?
Now that Wang Baoqiang, Luo Yong'an, and Chen Jie are acting unilaterally, they have naturally harmed the interests of the two women.
In this situation, there's no room for sentimentality. Even if we try to be amicable, everyone will eventually have to go home for vacation early.
Ten million Blue Star Coins, divided among five people, amount to about two million each, which is equivalent to their salary for filming several movies.
That evening, Yang Mi, Jia Ling, Wang Baoqiang, Luo Yong'an, and Chen Jie sat down together and decided to have an open and honest talk.
In fact, Wang Baoqiang, Luo Yong'an, and Chen Jie also realized that this approach wouldn't work.
Of those present, Luo Yong'an and Chen Jie need money the most, and Wang Baoqiang certainly doesn't disregard money either.
All three of them took this opportunity to analyze their own feelings, which boiled down to misunderstandings and saving face.
Now that no one wants to disband the team, the only option is to put aside our differences and work together.
The audience was overjoyed to see that Group Two had finally realized their mistake and reformed. Those who had voted for Group Two were naturally delighted.
Other viewers were unhappy, wondering how the two groups could have made up after only two days of entertainment.
Everyone is eager to see the two groups fight it out; who wouldn't love watching the drama unfold?
As the ratings gradually rose, the production team watched with satisfaction. The director waved his hand and announced that they would have an extra meal to celebrate the ratings breaking five.
The survival program on Donghai TV has finally broken through the 5% viewership mark.
This rating is already the third highest this year, with the first place at 8%.
Meanwhile, Donghai TV is raking in GG fees, having spent 100 million Blue Star Coins, and now it has secured exclusive naming rights worth 100 million Blue Star Coins.
Other interruptions and reruns earned another 200 million Blue Star Coins.
Yuan Zhenhai, the director who planned this survival show, is expected to get a promotion and a raise soon because of it.
No one expected that a survival show would become so popular.
Other TV stations have begun preparing their own survival shows, but for such a hit show, the first to try it will definitely get the biggest slice of the pie.
Yuan Zhenhai is also having a headache now; the show's ratings are low, and everyone is dissatisfied.
With the show's ratings so high, the higher-ups wanted to extend its broadcast time.
The problem is that the contracts signed with the participants were for a one-month period.
Whether people are willing to accept a last-minute change of schedule is another matter. Those celebrities' schedules are arranged by the hour, and the production crews following behind are all waiting for the lead actors to return for filming.
Besides the request from the leaders of Donghai TV, GG Business also hoped that Yuan Zhenhai could extend the broadcast time of the program so that everyone's share of the pie could be expanded.
As for the cost of extending the program, so what? The deep-pocketed Google is now waving its cash, just waiting to grab a slice of this traffic frenzy.
Fortunately, Yuan Zhenhai wasn't confused and knew when to stop while he was ahead.
Whether it was the leaders at Donghai TV or GG businessmen, they were all held back by Yuan Zhenhai.
This program is his life's work, and he will not allow it to be ruined.
Perhaps there will never be another show this good in his lifetime, and Yuan Zhenhai doesn't want to reach his peak right after his debut.
If the first season is successful, then the second season can be prepared.
Just then, two countries in the Blue Star Alliance suddenly contacted Donghai TV.
They actually wanted to co-produce a survival show with Donghai TV, and the name was quite grand: Three Kingdoms Rivalry.
The main reason is that these two countries and the Great Eastern Kingdom have a long-standing feud. This is mainly because their territories are adjacent to those of the Great Eastern Kingdom, and they have fought countless wars in the past due to territorial issues.
The proposal from the two countries was quickly approved by the Great Eastern Kingdom. Now that the Blue Star Alliance has been established, it will not allow any countries to continue to wage war.
The ranking of everyone is based solely on the strength of their economies. It's a good thing to have a survival festival to allow them to compete and determine who is better.
With the consent of the Great Eastern Kingdom, Donghai TV immediately began negotiations with the TV stations of both countries.
The struggle for supremacy in the Three Kingdoms period was certainly not as mild as this survival show.
Once something is elevated to the national level, it immediately becomes different.
In order to produce high-quality programs and meet the requirements of all parties, the three television stations of the Sun Kingdom, the Moon Kingdom, and the Great Eastern Kingdom continuously enriched the program details.
Yuan Zhenhai, the initiator and creator of the survival show, has been very busy lately.
On the one hand, we need to continue filming the first season to ensure that no major problems arise in the first season.
On the other hand, we also need to communicate with the directors from the other two countries on how to produce a successful second season of the transnational survival show.
Donghai TV treated the second season of the survival show as a mission and fully supported the conditions proposed by the directors.
If the first season of the survival show was about exploration, then the second season is about integrating and perfecting everything.
Of course, the first season has only been running for a week now, and there is still much to be explored regarding the specific details and the hot topics that viewers are interested in.
The survival programs from both the Sun Country and the Moon Country have no immediate plans to begin.
They also came aboard the passenger ship and, together with the Donghai TV crew, documented the problems and innovative improvements discovered throughout the first season.
Fortunately, the passenger ship we rented was big enough that even with more than twenty people now, it can still meet everyone's daily needs.
The people from the Sun Kingdom and the Moon Kingdom did not boss Yuan Zhenhai around; they approached this situation with a learning attitude.
These two countries share a wonderful quality: if you are better than us, I will set aside my pride and humbly learn from your strengths.
When I truly learn this knowledge and even surpass you, the founder, they will reveal their ugly, arrogant and conceited side again.
These are things that ordinary people outside the community don't know.
The contestants are still struggling to survive on the deserted island.
The typhoon struck unexpectedly. The five members of Group Two—Yang Mi, Jia Ling, Wang Baoqiang, Luo Yong'an, and Chen Jie—had just reconciled and didn't even have time to react before they encountered the powerful typhoon.
Naza, Yang Zi, and Chen He huddled shivering in the camp. Wu Tao braved the rain to go out and collect food every day, mainly because the food they had initially saved up was gone in just two days.
Chen He originally planned to go out to find food with Wu Tao, but Wu Tao refused.
He really didn't want Chen He to be eliminated as well, since he had already decided to use this show to get his start-up capital.
Wu Tao would not allow the plan to be abandoned halfway. Now he not only had to persevere to the end, but also had to do his best to ensure that the number of team members did not continue to decrease.
With Sun Hao gone, their group is now one person short. If Chen He were to encounter an accident outside, the group would only have three people left.
Others might think that with only two female celebrities involved, they could have an advantage and get closer to them.
Wu Tao didn't think that way; he didn't care about that kind of favor.
